Feel free to comment any more details that would be important for new fans as well! (Sorry for some weird cuts, some parts had to go due to copyright with the NRL)

[@SnagSports]

NRL is so strict with their Copyright 🤦‍♂️

[@CanberraRaiders612]

Just so you know, the lock also sometimes follows the play-the-ball in defence.

[@MarcDavidReich]

I think the fullback is actually one of the MOST offensive/ attacking players… that’s my observation. You mentioned that the fullback has a lesser offensive role. Just thought I’d point it out :)

[@jaxhoffalot2812]

Great video, very well articulated, and awesome to see so much Broncos/Maroons domination!

Union player here trying to learn more about our counterparts. Just wondering if you know would the five eighth be similar to the fly half in union? (Take kicks and control the team alongside the scrum-half.

[@willus259]

I'd say...
League 6/Five-Eighth = Rugby 10/Fly-Half or 12/Inside Centre, depends how they play
League 7/Halfback = Rugby 10
Reason is because the League 6 is more of a 2nd receiver and they have a chance to be more effective in playmaking because of less defenders than rugby.

[@HFBeep]

@@willus259 oh okay thanks that’s rlly helpful. 😁

[@yesand5536]

Great summary dude! Also, first comment

[@kong11232]

You the real MVP making this video. Can I ask where does the three quarters term and five eighth position got their name from? Whats the story behind it

[@TopCrazesRL]

That’s a great question, I’ll make another video exploring that

[@bjnwright]

I'm going to assume it's the same as rugby union. So, it's essentially a reference to how far 'back' these positions are located on the field. 'Full back' is self explanatory. Wings are also called 'three quarters' because they are located 3/4 back. 'Five eights' are located 5/8 from the back. That's my understanding. Hope it makes sense? Tricky one to explain. 😂

[@jughead4845]

Not really. It's based on fractions. You have the halfback, 4/8. You have the fullback, 8/8. In between, you have the three-quarters, 6/8. In between the 6/8 and the 4/8 is the 5/8. So on the field you have the five-eighth(#6) in between the halfback(#7) and the three-quarters(2-5). And the forwards are based on the scrum formation.

[@bjnwright]

@@jughead4845 thanks. yeah, that's what i was attempting to articulate. keyword i left out being 'fractions'.

[@martintierney1477]

5/8s is halfway between half(back) and (centre) threequarter

[@quakemf69]

[@josephsoap2698]

How come you don't use the original names for certain positions ?ie scrum half , stand off ,loose forward ?

[@TopCrazesRL]

That's just what I've heard other people use, does it matter?

[@JudyMockeridge-gx1px]

Also they are English terms ,we don’t use these position names in Australia .
